FOLLOWING a tip-off, a Fulani leader in Mangu local government area
of Plateau State was arrested in the early hours of Friday with five
human heads while more corpses have been discovered in Wase council as a
result of Wednesday’s clash between the Fulani and Tarok in the area.
A source in Mangu local government told Saturday Tribune that a
detachment of police and military men stormed the residence of the
community leader in Mangum village at about 10:26 a.m.
It was learnt
that the securitymen combed every nook and cranny of the house and
finally discovered five human heads hidden in the ceiling of one of the
rooms in the compound as well as some arms and ammunition within the
premises.
The combined team of the police and military men who carried out the
exercise forced the community leader, popularly known as Ardo, to pack
the human heads and ammunition into the waiting Hi-lux van and whisked
him to Jos, the state capital .
Chairman, Caretaker Committee of the local government, Mr. Ifa
Shikben, who confirmed Ardo’s arrest, said that five human heads were
picked from the house.
When Saturday Tribune called both the state Commissioner of Police
and the command’s Public Relation Officer, both of them did not pick
their calls.
Meanwhile, no fewer than five more corpses were discovered in Wase
local government area of the state in the early hours of Friday as
a result of the clash.
